Aestura ATOBARRIER365 Hydro Essence is a milky, first-step hydrator that mimics skin’s own Natural Moisturizing Factors (BMF™) to quench deep dehydration fast—without stickiness—leaving tight, thirsty skin cushioned and calm.

Benefits:

• Instant, weightless hydration: silky essence texture floods skin with moisture and absorbs cleanly for a fresh, non-greasy finish.
• NMF-mimicking formula: BMF™ (Barrier Moisture Factors) supplies the same types of hydrators skin naturally uses to stay balanced.
• Comforts tightness: relieves inner dryness right after cleansing and helps maintain a supple, plump feel.
• Sensitive-skin friendly: dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic tested, and sensitive-panel tested for low-irritation care.

Skin Types:
Dry • Dehydrated • Sensitive (suitable for all who prefer a light, non-sticky essence).

Clinical / Satisfaction Results:

• 97% agreed skin feels moisturised after use.*
• 99% satisfied with application feel; 95% satisfied with hydration and absorption.**

*Brand clinical on 31 people with dryness/sensitivity. **Hwahae user reviews (n=292, Oct 2020). Results may vary.

How to Use:

1. AM & PM, after cleansing, dispense into palms and gently pat over face and neck.
2. Layer 2–3 times on tight areas for extra hydration, then follow with lotion/cream (e.g., ATOBARRIER365 Lotion or Cream).
3. Can substitute for toner—no cotton pad needed.

Key Ingredients:

• BMF™ (Barrier Moisture Factors) — a blend modelled on skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors: amino acids, minerals, PCA, lactic acid, sugars, urea, citric acid, acetylglucosamine, creatine and uric acid to replenish water and support barrier comfort.

FAQ:

• Urea doesn’t suit me—can I use this?
  Hydro Essence contains a low level of urea as part of the BMF™ complex. If you’re sensitive, patch test first (inner arm/behind ear) or avoid if you have a known allergy.
• Do I need a toner first?
  No. This essence can replace toner as your first hydrating step post-cleanse.
• Use with a cotton pad?
  The viscous, milky texture is best applied with hands; cotton pads may absorb more product.
• Animal-derived ingredients?
  Formulated without animal-derived ingredients and not tested on animals (no external vegan certification).
• Is AESTURA suitable for irritated, dry skin?
  ATOBARRIER365 is designed for sensitive, dry skin with barrier-supporting care. Always patch test if severely irritated.
• What does the skin barrier do?
  It’s the “wall” of cells (bricks) and lipids (mortar). Keeping it strong helps block irritants and lock in moisture—Hydro Essence supports this by replenishing skin’s own moisturising factors.
